And that's exactly why you take practice tests! So your anxiety or stress doesn't get in the way. If you're feeling this way, I’d recommend doing your practice tests at the exact time your test is scheduled—same time of day, same food, same routine. I realized that when there’s consistency and a routine, it really helps a lot. Also, you can practice mindfulness by taking deep breaths and reminding yourself that you're prepared and you've done everything you can to get to this point. It's about building confidence and reducing that pressure, so on the day of the test, it feels like just another step in the process.
I stopped taking practice tests and scored higher on my test than I was scoring on my practice tests. The issue for me is staying focused for the duration of the test though.
